EFA is conducting the annual collection of capital spend data. This aims to secure details of each local authority’s use of the SCA fund, during the preceding financial year (FY). EFA will analyse data to help its understanding of the capital works being delivered within England’s educational estate.

Data can only be submitted using EFA’s online portal, during September and October 2016. The user guide and templates it includes provide information to help local authorities to complete and submit their SCA spend data return for the 2015 to 2016 FY.
